4. Pokyny k nastavení

Proper setup is crucial for the efficient operation of your sand filter. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Umístění filtru: Place the sand filter on a firm, level surface near your pool. Ensure there is enough space for maintenance and operation.
2. Filling with Sand: Remove the multi-port valve from the top of the filter tank. Carefully pour the recommended amount of silica sand (not included) into the tank. Ensure the standpipe is centered during this process. Do not overfill.
3. Připojení vícecestného ventilu: Reattach the multi-port valve to the top of the filter tank, ensuring a secure and watertight seal. The top flange clamp design allows for 360-degree rotation for easy installation and hose alignment.
4. Připojovací hadice: Connect the hoses from your pool to the filter system. One hose will connect from the pool's outlet (skimmer or suction port) to the filter pump's inlet. Another hose will connect from the filter's outlet back to the pool's return inlet. A third hose may be needed for the waste port during backwash operations.

5. Návod k obsluze

The Flowclear sand filter features a 6-position valve for various operational modes:

• Filtr: Normal filtering mode. Water is pumped through the sand, trapping debris, and returned to the pool.
• Zpětný proplach: Reverses water flow through the sand bed to flush trapped debris out to waste. Use when the pressure gauge indicates high pressure.
• Opláchněte: Used after backwashing to settle the sand bed and flush any remaining dirty water to waste before returning to filter mode.
• Odpad: Bypasses the filter and pumps water directly out to waste. Useful for vacuuming heavy debris or lowering pool water level.
• Recirkulace: Obchází filtr a cirkuluje vodu přímo zpět do bazénu. Užitečné pro míchání chemikálií bez filtrace.
• ZAVŘENO: Shuts off all flow to the filter. Use for pump maintenance or when the pool is not in use.

To change valve positions, ALWAYS turn off the pump first to prevent damage to the multi-port valve.

Starting Filtration:

1. Ensure all hoses are securely connected and the pool is filled to the appropriate level.
2. Set the multi-port valve to the FILTR pozice.
3. Turn on the pump. The pump will begin drawing water from the pool, filtering it through the sand, and returning clean water to the pool.
4. Monitor the pressure gauge. Note the initial operating pressure.

6. Údržba

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your sand filter.

• Zpětné proplachování a oplachování: When the pressure gauge reads 5-10 PSI above the initial clean operating pressure, it's time to backwash.
1. Vypněte čerpadlo.
2. Nastavte vícecestný ventil na BACKWASH.
3. Zapněte čerpadlo a nechte ho běžet, dokud voda v průzoru (pokud je k dispozici) nebude čirá (obvykle 2–3 minuty).
4. Vypněte čerpadlo.
5. Nastavte vícecestný ventil na Oplach.
6. Zapněte čerpadlo a nechte ho běžet 30–60 sekund.
7. Vypněte čerpadlo.
8. Set the multi-port valve back to FILTR.
9. Zapněte čerpadlo pro obnovení normální filtrace.
• Výměna písku: Silica sand typically needs to be changed once every three years, depending on usage and water quality.
• Čištění sítka: Periodically check and clean the strainer basket located in the pump to remove large debris that could impede flow.
